Can Hashimoto S And Lupus Affect A Patient Simultaneously?

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto s today and now my Doctor wants me to have further testing for Lupus. Can I have both?? My symptoms don t seem to reflect a Lupus Diagnosis, but she now has me worried I could have it. She said I have Hashimoto s for sure.
